Ingredients

• 400 g Fresh cheese ( well drained )
• 4 tbsp Honey ( liquid )
• 50 g Walnut kernel ( whole )

Instructions

1. Slicing the cheese

   Take the fresh cheese out of the refrigerator. Slice it into discs or wedges about 1.5 cm thick. The knife blade should glide through without tearing the cheese.

2. Plating

   Arrange the cheese slices flat on a well-chilled plate. Ensure they don't overlap too much to make serving easier.

3. Honey drizzling

   Drizzle the honey in a continuous, steady stream over the cheese. The honey should coat the surface and start to bead down the sides.

4. Crunchy finish

   Coarsely crush the walnut halves between your fingers and scatter them over the honey. They should remain visible and add texture to the dish.

Chef's tips

• The cheese must be served very cold to contrast with the room temperature honey.
• If the honey is too thick, heat it for a few seconds so it regains its fluidity and coats the spoon properly.
• Drain the cheese perfectly on paper towels before slicing to prevent the whey from thinning the honey.

Storage

Consume immediately. Sliced cheese can be kept for up to 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight container without the honey.
